ECL TerraSite-TX1 AI Data Center Near Houston
Overview
ECL TerraSite-TX1 is an announced AI-infrastructure project associated with the Houston region. TYPE3’s map data identifies EdgeCloudLink, or ECL, as operator, places the facility in Houston, marks it announced, and gives no power value. The source notes describe a site east of Houston, but the map precision and public announcement do not establish a precise municipal address in Houston proper.
ECL announced in September 2024 that it planned to build TerraSite-TX1 on a 600-plus-acre site east of Houston. The company described a long-term 1 GW AI Factory data center, with an initial phase expected to deliver approximately 50 MW for data-center cloud and AI cloud operators. Lambda was named as the first tenant in the announcement. Data Center Frontier summarized the same plan and reported ECL’s stated initial delivery target for summer 2025.
The summer 2025 target is not evidence that the first phase was delivered, energized, or serving customers, especially while the current map record remains announced. The 1 GW number is a long-term project ambition, not current IT load, and the 50 MW number is initial planned data-center capacity, not measured consumption. The available evidence supports an announced project with unresolved address, phase delivery, permits, tenant status, and operating state.

This state sits outside ERCOT and outside the survey. Sponsoring one funds the work of charting it — pulling its interconnection queue, large loads, and price data onto the map.
